Tottenham Interested in Newcastle Star As Possible Replacement for Contract Rebel Toby Alderweireld

Tottenham Hotspur are keeping a close eye on Newcastle United captain Jamaal Lascelles and could make a move for the defender if Toby Alderweireld leaves, according to reports.

Lascelles has impressed in the centre of defence for Newcastle this season as the club close in on securing another season in the top flight, and has recently been linked with a possible £30m move to Chelsea in the summer.

But now, according to the Telegraph, Chelsea could face competition from London rivals Tottenham for the defender's services next season.
